Bush Officials to Be Indicted (in Spain Anyway)

Unfortunately, nothing will come of this. The Obama administration probably won't heed any calls to have the former Attorney General, his underlings, or anyone else within the Bush administration show up in court. Still, it's nice to see someone take an interest in what happened at Guantanamo Bay. Someone has to answer for the alleged war crimes perpetrated at the office.

About Me

I'm a college graduate with a B.A. in political science and a minor in journalism who worked for a local newspaper.
As my title suggests, I'm a political heretic with moderately conservative to a moderately conservative perspective though I have a great deal of respect for and adherence to the libertarian and radically centrist points of view as well.
If you wanted a breakdown politically, you could say I'm slightly right of center on foreign policy (with a strong affinity with the realist school of thought), slightly left of center on the cultural issues, and probably dead center on fiscal issues and the entitlements. But this is not entirely accurate either. Sometimes I go left and right at the same time on the same issue.
I am an independent republican (small "r") who has voted for Republican, Democratic, Libertarian, and Green Party candidates who has voted for candidates from the Republican, Democratic and third parties.
